SCM Consultants Inc.

SCM Consultants Inc., a Subcontinent Asian American-owned small business based in Houston, Texas, supplies defense hardware components and equipment to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor through firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, competing exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements.

SCM Consultants is a minority-owned Subchapter S corporation under NAICS 332613 (Spring Manufacturing), with recent capability focus on fasteners, springs, seals, cable assemblies, bearings, adhesives, and industrial hardware. Representative recent work includes a $4,400 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for storage batteries (awarded January 2026), a $2,929 purchase order from DLA Aviation for wire rope (awarded October 2025), and a $2,871.18 order from DLA Aviation for hexagon cap screws (awarded October 2025). The vendor also holds three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts: a $350,000 contract with DLA Land and Maritime for helical compression springs (awarded April 2026, running through April 2027), a $350,000 contract with DLA Land and Maritime for nonmetallic seals (awarded April 2026, through April 2027), and a $350,000 contract with DLA Aviation for cable assembly power components (awarded February 2026, through February 2027). All three IDCs specify Defense Logistics Agency depots throughout the continental United States and overseas locations as delivery points.

Customer concentration is tightly held within Defense Logistics Agency divisions. DLA Land and Maritime represents 25 awards with $714 thousand combined potential value; DLA Aviation holds 24 awards with $365 thousand potential value; DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment carries 16 awards with $7 thousand potential value; and DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles accounts for one award. The two customer rankings (by award count and by potential value) are identical, with Land and Maritime and Aviation anchoring the footprint. SCM Consultants has registered for federal contracting since July 2021, with activity accelerating from five awards in 2022 to 28 awards in 2025 and 33 in 2026 through April. All 66 awards are prime contracts; the vendor executes no subcontract work. Award timelines are rapid — typical completion occurs within two to four weeks of award date, and SCM Consultants performs all work from its Houston facility without engaging subcontractors. Combined potential value across all awards totals $1.1 million, with only $38 thousand obligated to date (3% of potential value), reflecting the vendor's reliance on small, rapid-cycle purchase orders. Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window.
